This is from another member of another forum:
"I just got off the phone with Tom Donovan's [Klacto] assistant, and she confirmed that Tom passed away sometime in the evening between Wednesday, September 4th and Thursday, September 5th. The cause of death was a heart attack.
Because of the sudden, unexpected nature, his family already held the mass and funeral...
I just met Tom a few months ago here, but in a very short period of time got to spend several great nights with him and some of my best... pals. Tom was an absolute sweetheart of a guy, extremely knowledgeable about music (he was VP of an entertainment distribution company), and only 42 years old.
